Academics
This institution reports no six-year graduation rate. The federal measure only follows first-time, full-time students, so schools built around part-time or transfer enrollment often fall outside it entirely. First-year retention is 79% — the single largest point of attrition on this campus. At 8:1, students get materially more instructor contact than at a typical public university. This is a for-profit short-program school. That is not disqualifying, but it does mean verifying accreditation, transferability of credits, and job-placement claims directly rather than trusting the category. The undergraduate body is just 128, which shapes everything from class size to how often a required course is offered.
Financial Aid
IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 128 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates
Average net price after grant aid is $17,490 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. The gap between the $0–30k and $48–75k bands is narrow ($19,312 versus $22,802), meaning aid is not strongly need-weighted. 47% get grants, which means the net price above will not apply to most applicants. Most students borrow — 66% take federal loans to cover the gap.
Entering first-year students
A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
